1. Cost of a driving licence in Luxembourg

The first step in obtaining your (category B) driving licence is to take practical and theoretical training at an approved driving school. Fees may vary depending on the school and the options you choose, but on average you should expect to pay around €1,300 (provided you pass at the first attempt). This includes the theory lessons, driving sessions (around €65/hour), as well as the registration fees for both theory and practice tests.

In case you fail the test, you must take at least 8 more hours of practical instruction. This will cost an extra €513 on average, plus taxes and fees. All in all, costs can add up quickly.

The costs for a driving licence are composed of the following elements:

Theory lessons (minimum of 12 hours + 6 hours if the driver does not pass the test)
Driving lessons (minimum of 16 hours + 8 hours if the driver does not pass the test)
Practical test (costs of the driving instructor)
Taxes and fees

If you fail either of the two tests, this will lead to additional costs. To help prevent this from happening, a good driving instructor is important. He will give you the individual help you need to make sure you are properly prepared for the driving test – and above all: for everyday life behind the wheel.

Your financial advantage: if you get along well with your instructor, you will be more motivated and need fewer driving lessons. In addition, the confidence you gain minimises the risk of failing the practical test.

Another way to gain additional driving experience is through “accompanied driving”. After passing the theoretical exam and completing the practical basic training (consisting of 12 driving lessons with a driving instructor), you will be allowed to get extra practical experience. By driving with a friend or relative (usually a parent), you not only benefit from their tips, but also learn to act responsibly on the road.
